Description

No one can predict if a child will grow up to be an "addict" of some kind. No one has discovered an "addiction gene", and there is no compelling evidence linking addiction to a brain disease or disorder. A child becomes addicted by personal choices and is 100% responsible for the first choice to abuse an addictive substance. Still, however, parenting skills - or a lack of them! - have a huge impact on our children, and particularly in these specific areas.

The first section of this book contains general, biblical wisdom for all parents - a section that will be especially helpful for new parents with young children. But the second section explores new territory: an overview of the biblical approach to addiction, followed by a a third section which helps parents learn how addicts develop selfish thinking patterns in childhood and how parents can help them form right thinking, to replace the wrong patterns and avoid these pitfalls.

Tedd Tripp (author of Shepherding A Child's Heart says of this book:
"I think this is a great book. It is properly aligned, and because of extensive counseling experience, Mark Shaw is able to work back from how addicts think to biblical ways of thinking about oneself and life that counter 'addictive' thought patterns. This book is for serious parents who will invest time in training their children. What could possibly be more important in this dangerous world?"
